Shawn,
That sounds a bit time consuming. I do a version of that , except I use
a few cardboard tablet backs, the 8 1/2 x 11 ones. Usually I let a fair
amount of air out of the tire to get them in, but don't break the bead.
They are good to use over and over again, for both primer and top coat.
It has the added advantage of covering almost all of the rubber, so
there is no overspray on the tire.
